(March 3) – Munsch Hardt Kopf & Harr recently announced that corporate finance lawyer Bob Nash is leaving retirement to join the firm as a shareholder.

Nash, who retired in 2014, said he decided Munsch Hardt was the right landing spot for him because it was the most pleasant of the six firms he has been at in his career. He was a shareholder at the Dallas-based firm from 1995 to 1998.

“I returned to the practice of law because I preferred that to retirement,” he said. “I was asked by the right person, at the right time, on the right terms, and for the right reason: to help on large complicated transactions.”

A couple of Nash’s most notable cases included advising on the leveraged buyout of Dr Pepper and the bankruptcy financing for The Trump Hotel & Casino Resorts, in which he represented the agent lenders.

Nash says the most notable developments in the law over the course of his 40-year career have been the increasing mobility of lawyers and practices, the greater emphasis on the practice of law as a business rather than a profession and the increasing focus and rewards on the generation of business than the legal work involved.

“Practicing law keeps me engaged and alert and I simply enjoy working on large, complicated transactions far more than playing golf, reading books, newspapers and travelling,” he said.
